    Hi, I’m Krista.

    Strategic communicator and storyteller.

    I am the wife of a very talented musician who takes me around the world in pursuit of excellence. Mama to Jakob, Audrey and Ella, who just happens to have Down Syndrome.
    And an aspiring disciple of Jesus, defender of the oppressed, writer, graphic designer and photographer.

    I write and speak on navigating through the fog of life…you know, when things don’t go exactly as planned and am fuelled by a passion to amplify the voices of those on the margins…
    oh, and coffee…lots of coffee.

On Solitude….

June 26, 2012

I long for solitude.
And yet,
I fear it.
I will be the first person to live in community but have never fared well with roommates.
I long for silence and yet need the presence of another to keep me safe.
Solitude is complicated.
I need solitude to let my thoughts percolate
And yet, when I my mind is given too much time, it becomes my worst enemy giving into melancholic temptations.
As a mother, I am never quite alone and yet I feel so lonely.
As a wife, I am a musician’s widow and I long to see more of my husband but get far more done when he isn’t there.
We can’t afford to go Paris again as a family. Ben said I should go by myself.
It’s complicated.
